The upcoming Avengers 5 is still on track with filming continuing in the U.K., but the planned Avengers: Doomsday movie has hit a snag. Its release date has been pushed back from May to December 2026, and the following film, Secret Wars, has also been delayed to 2027. This change would likely not be welcomed by James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, given his current approach to film production.
According to entertainment reporter Daniel Richtman (via Cosmic Marvel), there’s a problem with the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* movie: filmmakers still haven’t planned out the final act, despite having filmed for over two months. While Marvel Studios has allowed this to continue, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn likely wouldn’t approve, as he’s previously emphasized the importance of finishing the script before starting production.
James Gunn has publicly stated his plan to avoid the pitfalls of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He’s explained that DC Studios won’t start working on a project until the script is completely finished. This means no project can move forward into pre-production until a final draft is approved, ensuring the story is as strong as possible from the beginning.
The head of the DC Universe has stated that a major reason for the decline in movie quality, particularly at Marvel Studios, is that scripts are often incomplete when filming begins. He emphasized this is a common problem for large-scale productions.
In a recent interview with Variety, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige clarified that they always begin filming only after completing a full script. He emphasized that he’s never been happy with starting production using an incomplete or unsatisfactory script.
I recently learned from Kevin Feige that Marvel’s approach isn’t about rigidly sticking to a script. They really encourage collaboration! They want their actors to feel ownership of their characters and actively contribute ideas *during* filming – basically, to make the material even better with their input. It’s a fascinating way to build something, letting the performers shape their roles and the story itself.
As a huge cinema fan, what always strikes me is how incredible the actors are – whether they’re new to a role or have been playing it for years. They really *know* these characters inside and out. I believe it’s vital to listen to their ideas and be willing to adapt and improve things based on what they bring to the table. Honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way – that collaborative spirit is what makes the magic happen.
Even though a complete script likely exists for *Avengers: Doomsday*, the studio’s habit of constantly adding to projects might be why the ending still feels unfinished.
It’s unlikely DC Studios would approve of filming without a finished script, but Marvel Studios is known for doing just that. Chris Hemsworth, who played Thor, revealed at ACE Comic-Con in 2019 (according to Cinema Blend) that the script for *Avengers: Endgame* wasn’t fully written when they started filming.
We received a draft of the script, but it was a strange and unfinished version. The actors essentially had to improvise the second half of the movie, working with whatever ideas the director had planned.
Despite reports that the final act isn’t finished yet, filming for *Avengers: Doomsday* is currently underway in the U.K. Production began on April 28th and is scheduled to finish later this year, with the movie expected to be released in theaters on December 18, 2026.
Details about the third act are still scarce, but one actor revealed it will end on a cliffhanger, setting up the events for the *Secret Wars* storyline to continue next year.

Should Fans Be Worried About Avengers 5’s Unfinished Script?
James Gunn’s focus on strong stories and scripts will be a major benefit to the DC Universe. It means only the highest quality movies and shows will be made, from initial idea to final production.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn’t been doing so well lately, with many recent movies and shows receiving negative reviews and failing to capture audiences’ interest. While *Avengers: Doomsday* is expected to be the studio’s largest film in years, its success is crucial. If it’s as controversial as other recent releases, it could spell the end of the MCU as we know it.
Marvel’s choice to start filming *Avengers 5* without a finished script is a daring move, but it’s not entirely unexpected. Chris Hemsworth has mentioned that *Endgame* was made similarly. Now, fans are hoping the new movie will be just as successful as the last one.
